Right decision no argument.
Must admit though I was pretty shocked at how much water was sat on the pitch considering it didn't start raining until after 6.
The rather half hearted uncoordinated efforts to clear it when the ref suspended play were pretty pathetic and pointless.

Regards your parched earth comment the only point I would say is that the grass is very green and the club have a full sprinkler system so I guess it has been getting regularly watered to maintain it so can't be parched surely?








Dunno. Maybe your right but it did rain very hard for about three hours.

It's stopped now.

trying to understand how the pitch is rock hard,when we have had an sprinkler system in?
more likely how it drains, as in the past

Watering the grass is one thing but the ground is so compacted that it can’t get quickly into the drainage system. Once the ground is opened up, it will drain a lot quicker.

Rather today than next week against Forest

Our drainage must be garbage because even Gainsbrough got their game finished

Game itself bit of a farce but thought Kiernan looked sharp again!

Nice to see Jamie Devitt applauding the home fans when the ref- who did his best to keep the game on- rightly abandoned it

Then by that logic was it the wrong decision to start it?


Probably. A heavy burst of rain on the driest surface we might ever have had in this corner of the world was always going to cause standing water.

It’s happened against Derby and Macclesfield in recent seasons too. Putting it back 24hrs yesterday might have made sense but I’m sure there’s rules and reasons why that couldn’t have happened.

Gutted it was called off but no alternative really.

Not that it counts for much but town were definitely the better team in the time played. Makes it more or a shame that it couldn’t be played


Rochdale on Saturday we’re by far the better team up til mid way through the first half

Bit odd that there's no post match reaction from Hurst?

Sounds like the right decision.  Went to a game here and popped for a beer at half time.  By the time it was kick off , we had to wade back to the stand. They didn't abandon the game. It was comical but stupid.  You couldn't kick the ball more than a few yards.  You could slide tackle across half the pitch.

Just because Gainsborough play in the Northern Prem doesn't mean their drainage is terrible. They have an excellent pitch all year round and have done for years.

They were right to stay the game but it was obvious it wasn’t ever going to finish. The rain didn’t ease off so sponging the pitch and brushing off the rain was only ever gonna be futile.

Both teams were happy with the decision. Shame really because both teams looked like they wanted to try and play football.
